American rugby team at South African tournament last week felt the spirit and impact of Nelson Mandela

When the U.S. rugby sevens team arrived in South Africa for an international tournament, it had no idea what was in store. Former president Nelson Mandela died the day after their arrival, but the tournament went on. Yet the scenes and interactions inside and outside the stadium will stay with the American players forever.
